We all know there are always two sides to every story.
Whilst in Bali last year I became quite ill, ill enough for us to call the doctor to the hotel.
I had fevers, major stomach cramps that had me writing in the feotal position for hours, the obvious happenings of both ends of the digestive system... etc etc.... yes classic BB.
So call the doctor we did.... I was sceptical when in he walked striaght out of 70's sitcom in his tight white jacket and carrying a household torch to peer down my throat.
He proceeded with his examination all the while telling me about his family, kids, wife who 'like you.... she big lady too!' If I wasn't so sick I think I would have been offended.... LOL..
Anyway.... an injection late and 3 different sorts of tables to take and he was on his way.
I took the tablets.... no questions asked... he had explained what each of them were for. If I hadn't taken them who knows where I would have ended up, quite possibly in hospital.
So it's not always wise to not take medications prescribed by a doctor in Bali - some of them do know what they're talking about.
